So I've been playing with a Destroyer rifle for a little while now.
Things going good.
Got a new mold to help with feeding.
Old boolet, Lee 356-120TC. It would hang up because the TC is to sharp for my rifle.
New mold is a Lee 356-125-2R. Round nose. Should cure the problem with feeding.
Another thing I noticed is it shoots to the left.
I have the sight drifted way over. It looks funny.
I was thinking, if I took off some weight, from one side of the boolet, it might curve to the right.
I wouldn't have to drift the sight over so much.
So I cast some hollow side boolets.
They make hollow nose and hollow base, but I've never seen any hollow side boolets.
I'm hoping they work.

Put the sight back to center.

That, and with those boolits, it might shoot around corners.

Well, that's a novel idea... :veryconfu

Maybe you could take a file or Dremel and remove a bit of metal from the right side of the muzzle so that when the bullet passes, it will veer to the right?

If you get a hollow base filled out correctly they should also whistle on the way to the target!!

With all the practicing I’ve been doing lately I notice if I pull the trigger on my pistols faster...like it surprises me that it went off I’m more on dead center. A slow target squeeze puts me left of the center at times.

....puts me left of the center at times.

I have never, ever been accused of being 'left of center'...

Holy crap, I'm 78 years old, and I think I need to go back to school. I must have missed something the first time around.:bigsmyl2:

You really should load those up, they should be devastating in that Destroyer rifle.

I have to agree with the above. This is a new one on me.

If it shoots to the side, the easy solution would be to stand on the other side.

Shoot left handed, so when you jerk the trigger your boolits will land right on....

The sights on those Destroyer carbines were designed for barrels with left hand twist. They won’t work with the right hand twist barrels that were used. Might try a gain twist barrel off a Carcano if you can find one in 9 mm.

You're from Hawaii. That there is a mountain rifle. When you are standing on one of the mountains you can shoot and have your bullits follow the contours of the mountain. (It also work well in ky)

These projectiles offset the Coriolis Effect!

Actually, believe it or not, the Buffington sight on the Trapdoor Sprigfield adjusted for the Coriolis Effect. And we think we're advanced.
